  • Thinking Critically, Coding Creatively: Elevating Social Studies Through Inquiry-Based Learning and Computer Science Integration
Title: Thinking Critically, Coding Creatively: Elevating Social Studies Through Inquiry-Based Learning and Computer Science Integration
The landscape of education is dynamically evolving with the infusion of technology into classrooms, but it is not just math or science disciplines that are getting a digital makeover. Social studies education has entered a transformative phase as well. Amidst the rush to modernize curricula, an innovative approach in Virginia is channeling the power of computer science into social studies classrooms. The Computer Science for Social Studies project, funded by the National Science Foundation, proposes a groundbreaking model tailored for rural middle schools. This initiative aims to weave computer science into the fabric of social studies, rather than teaching it as an isolated skill, making both subjects more relevant, engaging, and beneficial for 21st century students.  more » « less

    In the face of the rising prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) in daily life, there is a need to integrate lessons on AI literacy into K12 settings to equitably engage young adolescents in critical and ethical thinking about AI technologies. This exploratory study reports findings from a teacher professional development project designed to advance teacher AI literacy in preparation for teaching an AI curriculum in their inclusive middle school classrooms. Analysis compares the learning experiences of 30 participating teachers (including Computer Science, Science, Math, English, and Social Studies teachers). Results suggest Science teachers’ understanding of AI concepts, particularly logic structures, is on average higher than their non-Science teacher counterparts. Teacher interviews reveal several thematic differences in Science teachers’ learning from the AI PD as compared to their counterparts, namely learning from reflective discourse with diverse groups. Findings offer insights on the depth and quality of Science teacher AI literacy after participating in an AI teacher PD, with implications for future research in the integration of AI education into Science teachers’ inclusive K12 classrooms.

    Collaborative, playful learning represents an important avenue to mastering a range of skills within computer science education. This research presents findings from interviews with 9 members of an online community that started out as a gaming league and transitioned into a game development team. Community members learned programming skills to contribute their ideas to the game and participate in activities based around game development. Drawing on these experiences, we identify key elements from informal learning that can improve computer science education: 1) playful projects can help learners overcome barriers to participating in computer science; 2) community closeness facilitates a collaborative learning environment to support developing expertise in specific computational skills. We consider these findings in the context of learning as an everyday social practice, and discuss means of developing playful learning communities in computer science classrooms.

    The field of computer science continues to lack diverse representation from women and racially minoritized individuals. One way to address the discrepancies in representation is through systematic changes in computer science education from a young age. Pedagogical and instructional changes are needed to promote meaningful and equitable learning that engage students with rigorous and inclusive curricula. We developed an equity-focused professional development program for teachers that promotes culturally responsive pedagogy in the context of computer science education. This paper provides an overview of our culturally responsive frameworks and an examination of how teachers conceptualized and integrated culturally responsive pedagogy in their classrooms. Findings revealed that teachers were consistently planning to implement a wide range of culturally responsive instructional and pedagogical practices into their classrooms.

    Computational thinking (CT) involves breaking a problem into smaller components and solving it using algorithmic thinking and abstraction. CT is no longer exclusively for computer scientists but for everyone. While CT does not necessarily require programming, learning programming to enhance CT skills at a young age can help shape the next generation of children with knowledge that can help them succeed in our technological world. In order to produce teachers who are able to incorporate programming and CT into their future classrooms, we created an introductory Computer Science course (CS0) targeting future K-8 STEM teachers yet open to any student to enroll and learn computer science. We used a mixed-methods approach, examining both quantitative and qualitative data based on self-reported surveys, classroom artifacts, and focus groups from four semesters of data. We found that after taking the course, students’ self-efficacy in CT increased and while education students initially had lower confidence in their computing abilities than computer science students in the course, by the end of the semester there were no differences in their perceived and actual coding abilities when compared with computer science students. Furthermore, education students had many ideas on how to incorporate similar projects into their own future classrooms.
